Chapter 503 - 513 Harmony
Song Zhentao was also a Municipal Party Secretary, holding a significant amount of power, even though his status still fell short of Su Mengxin’s, but it wasn’t so much that whatever Li Yifei said went. That said, with Huaxia’s increasingly intense anti-corruption campaign, being a secretary meant being particularly sensitive to such matters. With Wang Hongmin indulging his daughter to such an extent, if this was to leak online, it wasn’t just Wang Hongmin who would be unlucky—there would be significant pressure on the whole municipality.
Li Yifei sending the video directly to him was a way of saving face for him, enabling him to deal with the situation directly without causing a national uproar that would be difficult to contain. Therefore, he immediately made a decision.
Although Wang Hongmin was usually arrogant, a phone call from the Municipal Party Secretary meant his career was utterly doomed, and once he got to the Discipline Inspection Commission, he might as well forget ever leaving prison again; the man was so deflated he didn’t display any of his usual haughtiness.
"Dad! Dad! What’s actually going on?" Wang Yajuan, still oblivious, asked loudly.
"My daughter, I’m finished. The Municipal Party Secretary has already called me, asking me to report to the Discipline Inspection Commission."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yajuan also sat on the ground with a thud, speechless in shock, understanding that if her father was finished, it spelled disaster for her as well.
Chu Xiaoyao said disdainfully at this time, "This is what they call ’as a man sows, so shall he reap.’ You are getting your just deserts now."
Li Yifei couldn’t be bothered to pay them any more attention. In the past, he had left a way out for people, but this time Wang Yajuan had been too arrogant, so he didn’t leave them any room to maneuver, instead pushing them into a corner with no escape.
The onlookers were all jubilant, witnessing the downfall of a high official firsthand felt like a personal achievement, as if they had a hand in the official’s demise.
Li Dongfang quickly left with his people, certainly keen to distance himself from Wang Hongmin. The urban management officers also followed suit, leaving behind Wang Hongmin, who was no longer their leader and whom they no longer needed to flatter—especially after such a public humiliation, all thanks to Wang Yajuan. They considered it polite not to beat her up right there and then.
